full of love

so, i found these little bottles at the dollar store and had three hundred and fifty two ideas on what i could do with them.  this is the first of many...i love these.  i also heart my martha stewart heart puncher.  oh craft tools....happy valentines day craft tools!  i love you forevz!

anyhoozles, as you might already know, i also heart using recycled materials when i am crafting. creating tasteful ways to reuse things is a passion of mine.  this was a fun way to do that.  i went through magazines and tore out pages that had pink or red pictures on them.  i was careful to check on the backs of these pages and only use them if there was back and white print on the back.  i also used a page of sheet music and a couple pages i tore out of an old novel i found at the recycling depot (which i also heart).  yes....i am keeping a tally of how many "hearts" i am racking up here.  

now use your heart punch and go wild (at heart) on your collection of pages.  gather all of your hearts up and give them a good mix up.  now evenly distribute into the little glass jars.  

if you are savvy with a pair of jewelry pliers and a length of chain, string the chain around the mouth of the jar and fasten with an O ring and clasp on top.  if not, you can use twine, a strip of leather or whatever your pretty little HEART desires.  had to slip it in just one last time. (t.w.s.s.)  these are such a sweet gift for your ladies!! that's who i gave them to, as well as my son's teacher, my mother in law, and a few friends that are far away. i love love.
